What types of accommodations are available at UPMC hospitals?
UPMC is committed to giving the best care possible to patients who have a service animal, making sure that all patients, visitors, and guests have equal access to health care.
Can I bring my service animal to the hospital with me?
Yes. Service animals are allowed in the hospital unless the animal is not under control and the owner/handler does not take strong, useful action to control it. All service animals must be housebroken.
Can my service animal accompany me in all areas of the hospital?
Yes. Service animals are allowed anywhere the general public is allowed. However, this does not apply to sterile settings such as a Burn Unit, Operating Room or Intensive Care Unit.
Will hospital staff help to care for my service animal?
No. If you are unable to care for the animal yourself, you must choose another person to feed, water, and toilet the animal during your stay. Staff are not responsible.
What if I am unable to care for my service animal and cannot choose another person to do so?
If there is nobody to care for the animal, the animal will have to be taken home or temporarily placed in a kennel. If taken to a kennel, it is at owner's expense.
Are there any other reasons I may not be able to have my service animal at the hospital?
Yes. If the service animal is aggressive, growling or otherwise not under control of its owner/handler, it
will not be permitted to stay. It will also not be permitted to stay if it is not housebroken.
Will staff ask me questions about my service animal?
Yes. Staff will need to verify that your animal is needed because of your disability and will need to know what tasks it has been trained to perform for you.
Does my service animal have to be on a leash or harness?
Yes. Exceptions can be made if leash/harness interferes with the service animal's work or the individual's disability prevents the use of those devices. In these cases, animal must be controlled through voice, signal or other effective controls.
Who is permitted to bring a service animal to the hospital?
Both patients and visitors with disabilities are permitted to bring their service animals to the hospital.

I was in a London Starbucks checking my e-mail when I noticed the internet wasn't working. Could it be a router problem, I wondered? Possibly. Then later I found out that Disney announced J.J. Abrams would direct the new "Star Wars" film, and everything fell into place.
As someone who is "Star Wars"-literate yet stands outside the geek-level passion, nothing pleases me more than watching the furor erupt over every "Star Wars"-related announcement of the past fifteen years. The best "Star Wars" movie after "The Empire Strikes Back" is actually a documentary called "The People vs. George Lucas," which is just about how insane "Star Wars" fans are.

We are really looking forward to teaching your children this year and have lots of exciting learning to do.
Tuesday: Outdoor PE
Wednesday: indoor PE OR swimming
PE kits can be left in school and taken home at half term to wash.
Spelling homework will be given out on Friday to be returned the following Thursday.
Maths and grammar homework will be given out alternate weeks.
My Choice homework will be linked with each topic.
Reading: read with your child whenever possible.
Autumn: Chocolate and Let there be light.
Spring: Going Underground and Romans.
Summer: Rainforests and Egypt.
Welcome to Year 3
In Year 3 we always try to;
Be the best they can be
Respect each other's beliefs
Be kind and gentle at all times
and follow the other Golden Rules.
We always make new members of the class feel welcome at Brilliant Brookside.
The Super Squirrels and Hardworking Hedgehogs are more than half way through the school year, and have learnt so much so far!
As we get closer to Easter, the children will be learning about the Easter story and will take part in our Easter Celebration day.
In the summer term the new topic will be Rainforests!
The children will learn about where they are, what they are like and will also be learning about plants in science.
See our long term plan above for the yearly overview of the subjects we will be covering.
PE information
The Squirrels and Hedgehogs will have swimming on Wednesday afternoons. They will be swimming in six week blocks, with the Hedgehogs swimming first. Please see the letter on the office website with the dates. We would be grateful if you ensure that your child has their swimming kit on the correct day.
Outdoor PE is on Tuesday afternoons.
Indoor PE is on Wednesdays.
Autumn Term 2017
In September the Hedgehogs and Squirrels had a fabulous trip to Cadbury's World. We learnt about where chocolate comes from and how it is made (and we ate some!)
Spring 2017
Cadbury's World
Year 3 and Dragonflies were very lucky to have some beautiful weather the day they visited Cadbury's World. The children greatly enjoyed being able to learn about the history and process in which chocolate is made.
STEM Ambassador visit
Year 3 have been lucky enough to have a STEM ambassador come to visit! Mr Aujla spent time talking about what STEM is (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and why it is important to everyday lives.
He discussed his experiences of what it is like working in a STEM environment and set the children off on the challenge to make a paper airplane that could travel the furthest distance.
This term year 3 have been learning about Chocolate! They have learnt about where chocolate comes from (looking specifically at Ghana). Had a wonderful talk from Miss Dixon about what Ghana is like, from her experiences.
The children have also had the chance to plan and design their own Wonka themed chocolate box!
They have also learnt about a balanced diet and had a go at tasting different foods to go into our healthy lunch box. They all got a chance to make a sandwich/wrap/baguette/pitta!
Autumn Term 2016
Going Underground
This will be our second exciting topic of the year. The children will be learning about rocks and soils and volcanoes in science. They will also learn about the Stone Age as part of their history work.
Let There Be Light
For our first topic we have started to look at light and the way it travels. In addition, we have thought about the dangers of looking at very bright lights, including the sun. Both classes have enjoyed looking at the way light travels and hope to do an experiment on shadows.
Religious Studies
As part of our Religious Education Units of Study we have been learning about Diwali in preparation for our special celebration day. On Friday 4th November we will be inviting parents and carers to come and join us for our exciting class assembly based on this festival. We also went on a wonderful trip to the Hindu Temple.

Lomi Lomi is an historical form of massage practiced by the Polynesian folks of Hawaii. Impressed by yoga, this massage takes place on a padded mat with out using oil. Thai massage is a superb methodology to re-establish balance within the body and release energy. In response to ancient Chinese language medicine, every reflex zone corresponds with a body half, gland or organ that tasks itself on the only of the foot. Done by applying stress upon the foot, this method eliminates stress and restores the self-therapeutic capability of the human body.

Shiatsu massage developed out of Anma, an ancient form of Japanese massage, and acupuncture, a form of Chinese language therapy.
Chinese writings, relationship again to the first century, identify five components that are lively throughout the body - fire, earth, steel, water and wood. The 5 components have been introduced into Japanese tradition through the sixth century and influenced the development and practice of shiatsu massage. Tokujiro Namikoshi started the Japan Shiatsu school in 1940, integrating traditional approach with western anatomy and physiology. One of many massage strategies which can be used is that of the Swedish massage technique.

?-lactams, like penicillin and the cephalosporins, are the most widely prescribed class of antibiotics in clinical use today. In response to their extensive use and misuse, resistance has developed and is now one of the most pressing public health crises of the 21st century. Many resistant bacteria express ?-lactamase enzymes. These enzymes hydrolyze the defining lactam ring, rendering them inactive toward their original target, the transpeptidases that crosslink the bacterial cell wall. ?-lactamases are categorized into four, distinct classes (A, B, C, and D) based on sequence similarity and mechanism of action. In an effort to overcome resistance, inhibitors have been developed to block the activity of these enzymes. Of particular concern are the class D ?-lactamases, or oxacillinases (OXAs), which are not inhibited by classic ?-lactam-based inhibitors, like clavulanic acid, and are able to hydrolyze several of the most potent ?-lactams in clinical use (the oxyimino cephalosporins and the carbapenems). In part, resistance derives from the structural similarity of the inhibitors to te ?-lactams themselves: both contain a ?-lactam ring. Therefore an urgent need exists for novel inhibitors that do not resemble the ?-lactam substrates. However, most structure-based design efforts rely on modification of existing ?-lactam antibiotics. Our strategy uses a consensus map of binding sites present on the enzyme and pairs this with molecular docking to discover novel inhibitors for the class D ?-lactamases. We identified two classes of inhibitors using this approach. The first are non-covalent fragments that were identified via molecular docking, and the second are reversible, covalent boronic acid transition state analogs. Both classes provide an excellent starting point for optimization of these compounds into viable leads with desired drug-like properties. With X-ray crystal structures of class D ?-lactamases in complexes with molecules from each class now in hand, we are poised to develop these compounds into the first clinical inhibitors for class D ?-lactamases.

My Manager has tasked me with creating an automated solution that reads a CSV file column that contains user IDs and will remove unneeded two digits at the end of the User ID and then add this ID to the email section of the user's AD profile. These two digits are always zeros. So for instance, John Smith could have a User ID of 12345600 and I need a way of removing those last two zeros using PowerShell. Also, the User IDs may be different lengths.
Any help on this is much appreciated.
Thank you
Did you attempt to write a script first?
I'm sure there are other ways to do it but provided the CSV you're importing contains the users' SamAccountName or another attribute value accepted by Set-ADUser, this should work:
$Users = Import-Csv C:\Input.csv foreach ($User in $Users) { $UpdatedID = $User.EmployeeID.TrimEnd('00') Set-ADUser -Identity $User.SamAccountName -EMailAddress $UpdatedID }
You may need to replace 'EmployeeID' and 'SamAccountName' with the column titles from your CSV file.
Yes, I already have a script that I wrote, but couldn't recall the method used to remove characters at the end of a string.
Thanks Paul, Trim is indeed it.
Appreciate your help.
BTW, how do you add two characters at the end of a string?
I know there is not an Insertend method.
Also, there may not be two zeros always at the end of the ID. So is there a way to dynamically instruct PowerShell to remove just the last two digits without telling it what the digits actually are?
Thanks again
$variable.trimend(($variable[-2] + $variable[-1])) looks funny but without further info that's what I have.
I know it's not elegant but this will trim any characters [-1] means the last character in the string
Here's how I would do it.
$variable = "asfsafd" $variable.Substring(0,$variable.Length-2)
Ahhhh yeah, "Substring" – that's right. I totally forgot about that. Man it's been a while since I have actually performed any string manipulation.
I'm reading this Scripting Guys article to shake out the cobwebs and I probably should have done that before dropping my question here. Anyway, thanks Curtis, Mark, and Paul.
I appreciate all your help on this.

Although having a large credit card bill is common among most Americans, sometimes people get stuck with credit card debt that is not even their own. So how does that happen? Because just about everyone has unpaid credit card bills, those bills are still around after a person dies. Just because a person in the Tampa area dies, that doesn't mean his or her credit card debt gets buried with him or her.
One of the reasons some people get stuck with paying off their loved one's credit card debts is that many wills include language that in effect directs the executor to pay off the person's debts before paying his or her beneficiaries. However, there are some measures one can take if he or she has been left in this position. Although most banks wouldn't publicize it, according to several attorneys their clients have found banks to be more willing to settle when a person has died.
One of the reasons for this is that banks and credit card companies realize that a bad credit score is no longer a threat to a deceased person. Therefore, they typically are more willing to take a smaller settlement if they can get it, especially if they get it all in one payment. Another reason is that credit card companies would rather not get collection agencies involved. They can avoid this by taking a lump sum payment that is two-thirds or even half of the total debt.
If you have been stuck with a deceased loved one's credit card debt, then you might want to speak with an experienced bankruptcy attorney who can help you with the many different aspects that kind of situation involves.

As comedienne and co-host Joan Rivers poked fun at Christina Aguilera's look at a German fashion party in July (11), Kelly Osbourne decided to fire up her feud with the pop star.
She snarled, "Maybe she is just becoming the fat b**ch she was born to be. I don't know. She was a c**t to me. And she bought my house!"
Justifying her outburst, Kelly Osbourne continued, "She called me fat for so many f**king years, so you know what? F**k you! You're fat too."

With a road game against the Montreal Alouettes on Sunday afternoon, the Redblacks have more to be worried about than first place, though.
Redblacks looking to take back top spot in CFL East
MONTREAL — With six games remaining in their regular season, the Ottawa Redblacks are fighting to move back into first place in the Canadian Football League's East Division.
The Toronto Argonauts now occupy top spot with their 5-7-0 record, following Saturday's 34-26 victory against the Edmonton Eskimos, who have lost five in a row. The last time Edmonton won was against Ottawa.
With a road game against the Montreal Alouettes on Sunday afternoon, the Redblacks have more to be worried about than first place, though. A loss to the slumping Als, who fired head coach Jacques Chapdelaine and defensive co-ordinator Noel Thorpe in week, would tighten up the race for a playoff spot. With a win, Montreal (3-8-0) would close within one point of Ottawa (4-7-1).
The Redblacks have beaten the Alouettes twice already this season by scores of 24-19 and 32-4. Last weekend, though, after riding a three-game winning streak, the Redblacks laid an egg at home against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. They were sluggish for 30 minutes and ended up losing 26-22.
"Anytime you lose, you want to get back onto the field and go," Redblacks head coach Rick Campbell said. "Obviously this is a big game because it's a team we're competing directly against for a playoff spot."
Serderius Bryant is fired up, too. Probably not a lot different than he is on most game days, though. Backing up, starting, standing in street clothes, Bryant is always a fast-talking ball of energy. Still, Sunday's game wil be of particular relevance since he's starting at WILL linebacker, the result of a coaching decision that sparked a series of events leading to the release of Khalil Bass, a free-agent signing by the Redblacks in the offseason.
"Man, it's a big opportunity for me," Bryant said. "I can't wait to actually get out there and show what I can do."
Bryant's passion for football shows in his play.
"I love football," he said. "I've been playing since I was five years old. When I was 18, football was the only thing I knew how to do, it's the only thing I did when I was growing up. I couldn't even drive a car or ride a bike. You have to to put in the effort if you want to be great.
"My energy, it's contagious. I try to stay enthusiastic and keep my team pumped up. When the offence is on the field, I'm on the sidelines talking to the defence, getting everybody live."
Having conversations, mostly one-sided, with players from the other side keeps the 25-year-old energized.
"It motivates me, it keeps me going," he said. "I don't have a problem with anybody on the field, I don't want to hurt them, I don't want to fight them. If I see them at a bar, I'll probably buy them a drink. It's one of those deals where you try to psyche them out a bit, make them think you have a problem with them. It's just the competitive nature in me."
Redblacks coaches like Bryant and what he brings to the table.
"He's athletic, he can cover ground, he can play in space, he can fire around and make plays," Campbell said. "He's a good player and he keeps getting better."
Alouettes coaching changes, with QB coach Anthony Calvillo now calling offensive plays and defensive-line coach Greg Quick calling the defence, shouldn't impact play-calling much on Sunday.
"I think they're going to do a lot of what they do," Campbell said. "They made a change literally at the beginning of their practice week. They have all the same players and a lot of the same coaches. We kind of know what to expect, they're going to run the same stuff."
"When coaches switch over, guys are playing for more than just a win. They're playing for their jobs this year and next year," Redblacks receiver Greg Ellingson said. "They still have a chance at the playoffs, so we have to create some separation so we can ensure ourselves of getting in the playoffs."
'Block their butts off'
The Redblacks offensive line has been under fire. Fair enough, a league-high 30 sacks allowed is something that must be fixed.
With centre Jon Gott out of the lineup Sunday, replaced by Alex Mateas, and with rookie Evan Johnson sliding in at left guard beside SirVincent Rogers, the Redblacks will try to keep quarterback Drew Tate on his feet. Tate's the starter following a shoulder injury to Trevor Harris during last weekend's loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The good news is that the Alouettes rank last in the nine-team Canadian Football League with just 17 sacks this season.
"I'm not happy with our record, I'm not happy with our play," Redblacks offensive-line coach Bryan Chiu said. "When you see the starting quarterback out for a period of time, it's disappointing. Offensive lines take pride in protecting their quarterback. They see their quarterback on the ground, I don't have to tell them. They're going to step up and block their butts off for Drew."
THE END AROUND: It's a different routine for players with an afternoon game, in this case 1 p.m. Said Ellingson: "You have to get up early, make sure you have fuel in your tank and make sure we're ready to play a physical game." … There will be a couple of chartered busloads of Redblacks fans sitting behind Ottawa's bench on Sunday … Don't read much into the fact that Arnaud Gascon-Nadon is listed as a backup at defensive end. Campbell called it a "procedural thing." There will still be a rotation of defensive linemen.

21 September 2016
This, the second blog in a series outlining the key findings and recommendations of Reform's latest report, Academy chains unlocked, addresses the need for government to encourage high-performing chains to spread to areas of poor performance.
In 2014, Reform described the transition from local authority schools to academies as an "unfinished revolution". Two-years later, a lack of government conviction is in danger of rendering the revolution forever unfinished. Though the Government expects "most schools will join [a multi-academy trust]" because they are "the best long term formal arrangement" for academy schools to flourish, their current preoccupation with grammar schools suggests support to expand chains is set to take a back seat. This is particularly concerning in light of recent evidence showing the variable success of academy chains so far. If the Government's primary focus really is on schools currently struggling, attention must urgently return to strengthening the academy system. To do this, high-performing academy chains must be encouraged to spread to the areas that need them most.
In the first survey of academy chain chief executives, published by Reform yesterday, appetite for growth is shown to be high. All but four respondents want to expand by at least 50 per cent, and more than half want to over double in size by 2021-22.
However, one-third of chains were also found to have refused to take on new schools when asked to do so by someone external, such as a Regional Schools Commissioner (RSC). Of those who report having rejected a school in the past, over 40 per cent claim they do so at least once a year, suggesting persistent barriers to academy chain expansion exist. This neuters the power of RSCs to intervene in cases of underperformance, as successful academy 're-brokerages' – whereby an underperforming academy is placed with a different chain – are clearly dependent on high-performing chains being willing to take over.
The geographical location of schools was the reason chain leaders most commonly cited for why they had declined take overs.
This is not all together surprising: it has been argued that inter-school collaboration is dependent on close dispersion, and chains have received high-profile criticism for operating over wide areas. Expanding on the importance of school location, chief executives interviewed for Academy chains unlocked also explained how a close dispersion can facilitate significant efficiencies from staff working across multiple academies.
Survey responses and interviews also reveal reticence to take on smaller schools and schools in financial difficulties. Again, this is unsurprising in a system where school funding is awarded per pupil, as operating costs in small schools are likely to represent a larger proportion of the total budget.
In order for high-performing trusts to expand, incentives to take on schools that are geographically remote, small or in financial difficulties must be sharpened. Academy chains unlocked offers a cost-effective solution.
The report recommends that the various sponsor capacity funds (see below) – which paid out in total an estimated £62 million between 2012 and 2015 – should be scrapped. Beyond quite broad eligibility criteria, the decision-making process behind these awards is unclear. This makes it very difficult to assess whether they effectively incentivise chains to take on schools that they otherwise would not, making it impossible to judge value for money.
In their place, a 'struggling school premium' should be established. This should be attached to schools fulfilling the criteria that currently deter chains from taking them on. This would improve transparency and more accurately target resources on schools that present a barrier to chain expansion.
To ensure value for money, the report also recommends including performance targets in chain's funding agreements, and commissioners should recoup a proportion of the premium if a chain fails to deliver its contract.
Ultimately, the aim must be to move away from government growth subsidies to a self-supporting academy system in which chains utilise reserves to support their growth. Accompanying recommendations would help deliver such a system: by placing funding with the chain rather than the school, chief executives would be empowered to distribute reserves across the chain without school heads presenting a barrier. In the immediate term, however, urgent intervention is needed to address the tepid performance of the academy system. The first step is to help quality chains spread to where they are needed most.

Compare and find the best business internet service in Readfield, ME for your company using Wirefly. At this point, it's virtually impossible for a business to operate with a connection to the internet. Even businesses that do not heavily require the internet for operation can be hindered by not having access to it. By the day, more businesses continue to turn to internet providers that specialize in business clientele. These special ISPs provide much more robust and versatile options for business clients, and they're becoming more heavily used by businesses in many areas of Readfield, ME. Using Wirefly, it's easier than ever to pinpoint a business internet service provider that fits your needs and budget.

In the past 20 years, there has been an evolution in the options available for internet connectivity. The advancement in technology has facilitated this evolution. It is the right time for businesses in Readfield, ME that have been using a single option to explore other options. It is unwise to stick with your outdated internet provider because you might be missing out on the opportunity for a major upgrade. However, you should remember that each option has its own few setbacks that are unique. One of the limitations is availability. Some internet options are very efficient. The only problem is that they have a limited distribution network. Therefore, it is necessary for you to thoroughly research on the options that are available in your area before making your final decision. The common internet options available are fiber optics, cable, DSL, satellite, fixed wireless, and T1.
Most business ISPs in Readfield, ME provide internet connectivity and other services as a package. Thus, it is wise to find an internet firm that offers the full package. Some of the services that you should expect are business web hosting, business phone service, and email. A combination of these services will assist you in saving a lot of money. Clients get to enjoy full service for internet connectivity from their providers. The providers are responsible for service and support because they have the professionals to handle the task. Thus, you will save money that would have been used to hire an expert in-house. You will also reduce your operational costs.
It is important to look for an internet provider that offers consultative services to your business. Their experts will be able to determine the specific needs of your enterprise. The ISP will let you know about things that will increase the efficiency of the business. For example, they may propose that you upgrade your existing technology. The best ISP providers in Readfield, ME advise their clients on the bandwidth that they require. They calculate the amount based on the number of employees and devices in use in the company. They may also suggest that your business should adopt remote management of devices.
It's maddening and detrimental for a business when it takes hours to upload and download crucial data. What's more, by selecting a slower speed to cut costs, a company may be working against their best interests. It doesn't help to cut costs and expect fantastic results. For full competency, a business must function proficiently during peak hours when operations can become extremely busy and take into account future growth.
Bandwidth caps and throttling are also important factors when it comes to Readfield, ME business internet bandwidth and speed. A business should inquire whether an ISP restricts the download speed depending on the time of day. A company should also inquire about any other aspects that may result in limitation. It's important to consider the details of the internet service your business is signing up for. Many have restrictions included in the fine print.
In addition, a company should be leery of providers that offer diminutive security safeguards. A good business ISP in Readfield, ME will offer anti-spam, anti-malware, anti-spyware defense, and anti-spam protections. The Internet provider should provide details of the quantity of protection available, mobile devices that can link to the system, and backup capabilities. Moreover, if the system breaks down, a competent provider should restore whatever was lost on the network via the backup. If the backup is located at the company site, it's probably time to shift to a cloud-based system.
One of the best choices a business can make when signing up for business grade internet in Readfield, ME is finding a provider that will offer them a Service Level Agreement. This agreement assures as close to uninterrupted internet service as possible and gives the business perks like credits off the bill if the internet is down for more than the period of time outlined in the agreement. In these tech-reliant times, businesses rely on their internet service speed and reliability for sales, productivity, customer satisfaction, and more.
Another important things to consider is the competence and experience of the ISP's technical support. There is always tech support available, but does the company you are considering employ tech personnel that can handle the issues your internet-reliant business could encounter? Can they do so in a timely manner? Make the best internet choice for your unique business. By entering your zip code and running a quick and easy provider search with Wirefly, you can see what has (and has not) worked for others in the past.
The choices that are available for a business will depend on its location. Irrespective of the available choices, however, it is important to conduct a careful analysis. Such an analysis will help a business get the most from the investment it makes in getting an ISP in Readfield, ME. Since this is a dynamic industry, a good business internet service provider must be able to adapt to the latest trends and technologies and tweak their services accordingly.
For example, the IPv6 protocol is planned to replace IPv4 as it allows for unlimited number of IP addresses. This means that it can accommodate more devices, and more devices with internet capability literally get into the market every day. Each of these devices needs to have a unique address for easier internet configuration. This would translate to less money for a business that uses various devices to connect to the internet.
The selected business internet service provider in Readfield, ME should demonstrate the capability to use such new technologies. Making a simple inquiry can help a business improve its efficiency while it dramatically reduces its costs at the same time.
Wirefly offers great deals on a large selection of smartphones, cell phones, tablets, mobile hotspots, and other wireless devices for the nation's most popular carriers. Use Wirefly's innovative cell phone and plan comparison tools to ensure you are getting the best deal on the market. Shop with confidence knowing that Wirefly wants to help you find the best prices on cell phones, cell phone plans, TV, and Internet service.

828,000 people
Dotted primarily across the west, these 43 counties are marked by large Native American populations – more than half the people who live in these counties overall are indigenous Americans. The counties are heavily rural with low college education rates, only 14% have a college degree, and with the lowest "white only" population of any ACP type, about 39%. They are not wealthy places, with a median household income of about $40,000 and they are pretty closely split politically. President Barack Obama won these counties in 2008 and 2012, but only by about six percentage points and four percentage points respectively.

Our trip in Japan was really fun, and I was the most relaxed I've ever been in another country while I was there. I'm an anxious person, and the same goes for when I travel. I've had panic attacks abroad, and dealt with a low level of anxiety the entire time I was in certain countries, but I travel anyway because the good outweighs the bad, and I don't want my anxiety to rule my life.
I say all this to contrast my experience in Japan. I only felt anxious a couple of times on my whole two-week trip. That was mostly related to eating, which is often what can bring on my anxiety because my anxiety stems from my health.
Context probably played a big role for me. First of all, I lived in Asia for 18 months, and specifically in East Asia for about 14 of those. So right away, Japan hardly felt foreign. I first noticed the similarities with South Korea, though as time passed I noticed more differences.
Second, I was traveling with two Japan experts. Jeff and Kevin had lived in Japan for 3 months and a year, respectively. Jeff speaks some Japanese, and Kevin is conversant, so I could defer to them when I needed to. I taught myself some Japanese beforehand, and especially focused on learning kanji, which did come in handy occasionally and was kind of fun.
Those things were unique to my trip, but there are several other factors that would make Japan a good destination for anyone.
People are Polite and Helpful
Politeness is a key value in Japan (this is one of the ways that it is different from Korea, where people were not always polite). We had very pleasant interactions with everyone we spoke to.
Many people were quite helpful, even if they did not speak much English. If we stopped to look at a map, someone might come up and ask if we needed help.
Large crowds in Japan are very civil. This is important because it's a crowded country. It's very unlikely that anyone will try to shove you out of the way or run into you in a crowd. I can get nervous in crowds but I was okay even in Shibuya Crossing!
It's Easy to Find English or Picture Menus
In the big cities, English menus are a breeze to find. You won't need to limit yourself to the most touristy restaurants, either. But even elsewhere, at places with no English menu, you aren't necessarily out of luck.
Often, there will be pictures on the menu. And, even better, most restaurants have food models out front showing the dishes they serve. If you're in a bind, you can always guide the waitress outside and point at the food model you most want to eat!
Also, all subways and trains have the names of stops in English letters, so you won't need to worry about that. The shinkansen did announcements in English as well as Japanese. Local trains didn't always, so you'll need to pay a bit more attention to the station signs.
Everything is Convenient
The best part of travel in Japan is the convenience. Not just convenience stores like 7-Eleven, though those are extremely abundant and a great place to grab a drink, a snack, breakfast, or cash.
Rarely will you find yourself at any large distance from a public toilet, and they are clean and free. Most of them even have at least one Western toilet, though for the squat-toilet-challenged like me, a lot of the squat toilets have bars to hold onto! I also, for the record, really love the fancy Japanese toilet seats with heating and jets.
Vending machines are absolutely everywhere, so we didn't even need to worry about how much water to carry with us. We just carried however much we felt like, and then bought water at a vending machine when necessary for around $1.
There was hardly a time in Japan when I needed something and couldn't easily find it nearby. That is a rarity when traveling – it can often be stressful if you need a band-aid or other small thing and having to figure out where you'll need to go to get it. But in Japan, you can walk into a grocery store, department store, 100-yen shop, or convenience store, and likely find what you need.
The only thing that can be hard to find is a place to sit! Public seating is not very common.
Japan is Safe
Japan is clean. The water is safe to drink. The food safety is very good (there isn't much street food, but what there is I wouldn't hesitate to eat).
Personal safety is rarely an issue. Violent crime is very rare. I felt safe at all times, which takes a lot of stress out of travel days. If you lose something, you will most likely find it.
There are many reasons that I loved my time in Japan, but the low stress of traveling there was a big part of why I fell in love with it. I recommend Japan to anyone – maybe learn a few phrases to be polite, but don't be afraid to go!
Have you been to Japan? What did you think?

When it comes to keeping tabs on our favorite famous stars, their love lives are at the top of our list of fascinations. That is precisely why fans totally flip out whenever the oh-so-fabulous Hailee Steinfeld is seen hanging out with someone who could potentially be a boyfriend. So join us for a little breakdown of her relationships.
Is Hailee Steinfeld single?
It's complicated – but as far as we know, she's single. The singer was dating a guy by the name of Cameron Smoller. The pair had been dating and sharing adorable photos with one another since 2016, but it was at a pre-Golden Globes event in January of 2017 where the darling duo were photographed together at a star-studded gathering for the first time.
However, by the looks of their Instagrams, they're not together anymore. The last photo Cameron shared of the two was in November 2017 – then, crickets.
While Hailee hadn't ever extensively talked about their entire love story, we do know that one of Cameron's four siblings is Cully Smoller, who just so happens to be Gigi Hadid's really good friend and former assistant. Interesting... v interesting. Sounds like Hailee just met Cameron through her famous circle of friends, perhaps?
Who was Hailee rumored to be dating in the past?
Hailee has totally put the Justin Bieber dating rumors to rest, but there was a time people were skeptical that the two pop stars were a thing. Back in 2011, Justin tweeted out about her Oscar nomination – and of course, it started some buzz around the two. It was all talk though, as they really were nothing more than friends all these years.
met at the Globes and she is super talented. CONGRATS to Hailee Steinfeld for being 14 and getting nominated for an OSCAR for TRUE GRIT!— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) January 25, 2011
Justin isn't the only one Hailee has been linked to. Rumors swirled around Hailee and her Romeo & Juliet co-star Douglas Booth before he went on to have a rumored fling with Miley Cyrus in 2014 – but they just claimed they were friends too. Ugh – what to believe, what to believe. And of course, people also tend to ship Hailz with Austin Mahone, Shawn Mendes and Charlie Puth – but they're all just pals, people. Seriously.
Is Hailee Steinfeld dating Niall Horan?
Now, let's talk Niall Horan – because that rumor never seems to go away. Everyone seems to think they're dating because, you know, they're adorable and hang out all the time. But don't get too excited. Right after Hailz and Nialler were spotted at a concert together, Hailee posted a photo holding holds with a mystery man. And trust us, those tattoos do not belong to Niall.
However, all this proof when out the window when Hailee posted a picture of herself wearing a Niall Horan tee. And then shortly after, a source told E! News that they really are a couple.
"It's true that Hailee and Niall are dating, but at this point it's still pretty casual," they said.
Even if they are dating though, it's likely that Hailee will want to keep things quiet. She opened up to Us Weekly about having boundaries when it comes to her personal life.
"I feel so lucky that [my fans] care enough about me to know what I'm doing every second of every day, but I think that sometimes it's hard for people in general to realize that there are boundaries to a person's life and personal life. I am a very private person. I do love that I have the opportunity to share with them what I'm comfortable with and they're there to listen and support me," she said in the interview.
So wait, could Hailee and Niall actually be a thing? We'll just have to wait and see if they confirm it themselves.

Onboarding Onfido as an engineer
Being onboarded at a fast-growing startup
I joined Onfido three months ago. Although I've always worked in startups, this is the first time I've been integrated into a team of almost 40 - the company has been growing extraordinarily after their series A round back in February 2015. I've always enjoyed the informality of five people working in a small room, and even the chaos felt pleasant at times, but it's a completely different matter when a company is growing at such a high rate. There are a couple of different aspects to tackle when introducing a new employee to a big company: its history, its current employees, its general rules and, obviously, the technical introduction to the code, infrastructure and development environment. This is what my first month at Onfido felt like.
The first hour
At Onfido, we hold "Scrum of Scrums" on Tuesday mornings. The whole company gets together around the pool table and listens to the latest updates from the various teams over breakfast. Asking a newcomer to show up on a Tuesday is very clever because, within the first hour in the office, they get to hear all about the company, have a quick idea of who's in charge of what and, while everyone is gathered over breakfast, they are introduced to the rest of the gang. On top of this, the company pays attention to the fact that first weeks are exhausting and deliberately starts you off with one that's 4 rather than 5 days long!
The first day
Once breakfast is over, you will have the first debrief of the day. You'll learn about the company, how it was born and what its future plans are. Then comes the time to know about everyone in the team. When I joined Onfido, the company had around 35 people and Ellie, our Head of Talent, told us something unique about each member. Although you're not expected to memorise all of them in 10 minutes, she really makes an effort. She invited us to a super cool game, almost like a reverse Guess Who? One by one, Ellie would go through every single member of the team and tell us their name and a little trivia about them. This is an awesome way to make you feel at home, and you'll eventually remember some of it when you talk to them later on. Unfortunately, this is not being done anymore, as with 65 employees it's quite hard to keep it brief, but we're trying to find new ways to achieve the same goal while not consuming as much time.
The first week
Now familiarised with the team and the office, it's time to get comfortable with your workstation, change a few default passwords and set up accounts for email, Jira , Slack , BitBucket …
The first time I opened Jira, I had two little tickets assigned to me, nothing too complicated, but something that would get me fiddling with most of the codebase as a gentle first step into it. After the first ticket comes the first commit, and then the first pull request. We use pull requests to keep the git history tidy and make sure we keep the high standards of our code. By assigning reviewers from other teams we make sure that pretty much everyone can be involved in any area of the code no matter which team they belong to - it keeps the knowledge flowing.
The first month
As you get familiar with the codebase, the development process and the whole team, you start being included in all the other aspects of the great culture of the company. You attend Onfido's first social event, join the team for dinner and become part of the cleaning rota.
On the technical side, I was trusted very early on with the difficult task of being on tech support duty for a full sprint: 3 weeks. This means you'll be putting out fires for a while instead of building new features, as well as fixing bugs reported either through the customer support or by our internal operations team. Once again, this is useful when learning all about the different aspects of the app codebase, as well as some internal lingo.
The whole engineering team is split into separate, smaller teams which focus on a specific part of the app: document scan and recognition, data handling and validation, experience and growth, internal tools and devops. Tech support and pull requests are handled across all teams to try and get everyone involved as much as possible in all the different parts of the product.
And beyond
Since my first day on July 21st, the team has grown from 37 to 65 people and it doesn't look to be slowing down any time soon. It's been a great ride so far, and I look forward to what this journey will bring next. If you want to come and work with a friendly and highly motivated team, check out the open positions.

Celebrities and stylists should be on high alert—Fashion Police is back!
That's right, the style patrol is returning to break down all the red carpet sensations and not-so-sensational looks, just in time for the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards this Sunday. And we couldn't be more thrilled!
In March, E! announced the show was taking a break "to refresh before the next awards season." And they certainly did.
The upcoming season will welcome new co-hosts, new surprises and lots more hits and misses! Here are the nine reasons we're most excited for Monday night's FPreturn!
Jason Merritt/Getty Images
Executive producer Melissa Rivers will join Giuliana Rancic and Brad Goreski in front the cameras when the series picks up. With her years of valuable red carpet experience, we can't wait to hear what she has to say!
2. We get to see Giuliana again after her E! News departure:
Sure, it was sad to see G leave, but thankfully she will continue to grace us with her style expertise. We miss you, girl!
3. Brad will say something hilarious (like he always does!):
We can't even begin to guess the witty one liners Brad will come up this season, but we already know we'll be in tears.
Neilson Barnard/Getty Images for MTV
When the music world and fashion world collide, the results can be…unpredictable. Just check out these wild and wacky VMA flashback photosfrom the late '90s and early 2000s. Yup, Giuliana, Brad and Melissa will haveplenty to discuss.
5. We're anxious to see what Miley Cyrus will do this year:
Oh, Miley Cyrus. We're nervously anticipating what the singer will do (and wear) during her hosting gig on Sunday night's big show, but it's safe to assume she will be a highlight on the show the next day.
6. NeNe Leakes will guest star:
Each episode of Fashion Police this season will feature two rotating celebrity guests, who will be revealed exclusively on social media. And first up is NeNe Leakes! One word: Bloop!
Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images For Fashion For Relief; Imeh Akpanudosen/Getty Images
If Nene wasn't enough, the funny lady will also join Brad, Giuliana and Melissa for this year's VMA analysis. We suspect you'll be quoting Monday's show for the next five days.
8. There will be a different look:
Fashion Police underwent a mini-makeover with fresh set pieces and new decorations. Fans will definitely notice the upgrade.
9. All the Joan Rangers finally have an opportunity to re-connect:
We know the hiatus has been tough on you, Joan Rangers, but now is your time to shine!
Fashion Police returns Monday, Aug. 31 at 8 p.m., only on E!

Have you always been looking for ways to pay off your car loan faster?
Buying a car can be very costly, but getting approved for car loans can be so easy especially when you have established a good credit history.
However, paying them monthly can become quite tedious and burdensome especially that it takes years for you to pay it fully. Sometimes, you'd just wish that you can pay for the auto that you have loaned fast.
Fortunately, that wish can become a reality, for there can be ways to pay car loans fast. Do you want to be debt free from your vehicle? If so, here are the ways that you may pay your auto at a lesser span of time:
Tips for Paying Car Loans Fast
1. Refinance for a Lower Interest Rate
It could be that the bank was able to finance your auto because of your good credit score. If you have paid for your car loan regularly for about a year now, maybe your credit score could've become higher. With this, it is possible to apply for a refinancing to lower your interest rates so your total loan can become lower and you can pay it earlier.
2. Pay Your Car Loans every Two Weeks
If you pay your auto loan monthly, you'll have 12 payments in one year. But the annual calendar has 52 weeks. If you divide your monthly payment on a bi-weekly basis, you will have a total 13 payments in a year, which pays off your car financing payment at a faster time. By being able to fund your car loans bi-weekly, your balance easily decreases, which means that the amount of the interest that you pay is lessened, too.
3. Pay with Your Extra Paychecks
This is can be more feasible when you get weekly or biweekly paychecks. If your payment is on a weekly basis, you typically get four paychecks in one month. However, there are months with five weeks. Instead of spending it, you can use the fifth paycheck you got to finance in advance for car loans.
4. Snowballing
Snowballing your debts is one of the tools that you can apply to pay off cars and other loans fast. Pick your debt with the lowest amount, one with earlier payment terms which you think you can pay at a lesser span of time. Commit to paying it as soon as possible. Once completely paid, the amount that you used to disburse for that debt can be added to the payment for car loans. In this way, you can get higher payments and you will be able to pay for your vehicle early.
Your Payment Options
This set of advice are just your options, and you may or may not need to follow it. But if you are serious about getting rid of your financial debts and pay car loans earlier, then you may consider bringing in all of them. It may quite be hard to sacrifice some of your extra money to pay for your credit, but you will also be the one to enjoy the fruits once you get paid off.

In this article, we argue two points: 1) that the religious images, symbols and allusions of The Matrix mythology shift decidedly from the West to the East; and 2) that the Western end of this shift is grounded not in the Christian religious tradition, but in Nietzschean humanism. This humanism explicit in the opening lines of the history of the Matrix myth, as found in The Animatrix, retains its dominance through The Matrix and into Reloaded, at which point the myth turns increasingly eastward and ends in the cyclical images of Vedic and Puranic creation and dissolution.

Review: 'Bedlam' #1
Its Halloween week and Image comics chose this unique opportunity to introduce their newest serial killer to the world of comics. From the brilliantly creative mind of Nick Spencer comes the twisted story of Bedlam, a city, that has recently, gotten over the terror of the murderous acts of a sick and twisted man who preys on the local children and women. Especially children. This book isn't the customary serial killer story, and the wonderful art by Riley Rossmo reflects its untraditional style.
WRITTEN BY: Nick Spencer
ART BY: Riley Rossmo
PUBLISHER: Image
RELEASE: October 31st
The story of "Bedlam" is a solid one; it uses flashbacks to explain the origin of Madder Red, a psychopathic serial that at one time slaughtered thousands of people just for the hell of it. Now, he's dead but the city is still haunted by his work. As the book progresses it becomes clear that the main protagonist, Fillmore, has a dirty little secret. At this point the flow of the book can be hard to follow; utilizing the flashbacks to progress the story of Madder Red with lots of dialogue that helps the reader get into his head while showing Fillmore's life in the present day. As the book comes to its conclusion the story definitely fits cleanly together and makes sense but throughout the read it can be tedious at times.
Nick Spencer knows what he's doing; he's become known for his stray-from-the-beaten-path storytelling that keeps the reader guessing from start to finish. It would be hard for anyone to read Spencer's Madder Red and not think of the Joker, but regardless I love it. The book starts off with a bang and keeps pacing well throughout. There are times when the story slows down for some expositions, but even when the dialogue is hefty the delivery is done in such a way that it doesn't feel slowed. Where "Bedlam" really starts to take shape is the final few pages of the issue, showing that this is not just a Joker ripoff, but something else entirely. Something that could never be done in the DCU.
The art in this book is the kind of awesome you'd expect from Rossmo. The flashbacks images are look as though they are not finished, adding a sense of grit and unease. At these stages of the story the images are also in black and white except for anything red, whether its clothing or the enormous amounts of blood, adding to the uniqueness of the art. When the story follows Fillmore, there is still an emphasis on the colour red but the art is much more cleaned up and with many other colours in the spectrum.
"Bedlam" has a lot of potential, though the story was confusing at times the ending tied together well, leaving so much room for the creative team to run free. The issue is also extra-sized, which gives you an extra bang for your buck. Every fan of the horror genre should read this book.

Your Weekly Horoscope..
Find out what the cards have in storey for you for the week starting May 22
ARIES (March 22 - April 21)
Sometimes healing cannot happen, till you recognize that healing is required – and there is complete surrender. It could be any situation in your life – big or small. For instance, if there is a discord between you and a friend or your boss. See the situation as something that needs healing – not as "this is wrong". When you feel it is wrong, you bring an energy of accepting its wrongness. But when you see it as something that needs healing, you remove the anger, hatred or sadness and bring in an element of love or hope. You can bring about change or improvement in any situation by thinking differently. It all starts with a thought, followed by words and finally action. Thoughts do become things. Let this week show you that, Aries!
TAURUS (April 22 - May 21)
Abundance is the name of the game this week, Taurus! Have we been complaining a little too often recently? Just stop for a moment and instead of focusing on the various things that aren't going "right" for you – think about the immense blessing that surrounds you. Right now – name three things you are incredibly grateful for. Really feel it and mean it, and watch how your face will lighten up. You are being blessed, so acknowledge the flow of abundance. It may not be in the form that you are expecting – like you may not be wining a million-dollar lottery (or you just might - you never know!). Open your arms and your heart to receiving, show immense gratitude and stay in the happy flow of abundance this week. Just refuse to see lack. Keep your happy blinders on.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21)
Looks like you need to air out those windows. Either literally or emotionally. Detox your home, clear up anything that isn't in order, clear your emails, your Facebook friend list. Do something that helps you feel lighter this week. A walk in the park, or by the beach will help immensely. Spend some time in nature. Even a 20-minute walk. Let some fresh air enter your being and take away the heaviness.
CANCER (June 22 - July 21)
Prayer is when we ask the Universe (or God or Divine Light – whatever you chose to call it) for something. But meditation is when we listen for the answers. We all pray and ask and send our wish list, but rarely do we sit in silence to listen to the replies, the signs, the messages. Watch for those signs this week. If you feel, you're missing the signs – you can actually ask "Please give me clear signs", and then stay open minded to receive. Try it this week, Cancer.
LEO (July 22 - August 21)
We forget that we are spiritual beings having a human experience (not the other way round). This card comes as a reminder to you, Leo. You have a beautiful purpose and you're on the right path. Wherever you chose to head, you must know that the Universe has your back. You'll be guided along. So take that calculated risk if it feels right. When you are stuck with indecision, think of one outcome keeping your hands on your heart and eyes closed. If you feel uneasy and fidgety, it's probably the wrong decision. If you feel peaceful and warm and happy, then this is the right decision and you must act on it immediately. Listen to your inner guidance.
VIRGO (August 22 - September 21)
It's the Miracles card for you this week, Virgo! Even you feel don't feel it, you're being watched over and blessed abundantly. Miracles are coming to you. They may or may not be in the exact form that you have been praying for. So don't stay rigid on that. The Universe actually knows what's better for you (yes – we struggle to accept that, don't we?). Looks like you're going to have a good week anyway.
LIBRA (September 22 - October 21)
Whatever you are facing this week, Libra – be strong. You are stronger than you think. Your inner wisdom is trying to shine out. Don't drown it with your ego. Ego is the illusion of who we think we are. The funny thing is that our ego is created by us based on what we think others think of us (complicated!). So simplify things this week, and listen out for your own inner wisdom. You are strong beyond what you'll ever know. Your belief system, your values; don't allow other people's opinion let you forget your divine spirit.
SCORPIO (October 22 - November 21)
Has it been a crazy week for you? Too much going on? Try switching off as and when you can. Of course not everyone can take a spa break or a holiday as and when they fancy. So make the best of what you have. Try meditation. If you're new to it – just sit on your bed when you wake up, keeping your eyes closed. Take a deep breath (counting 4), hold here (counting four) and release counting 8. Do it just for one minute, say a small prayer (or simply Thank you for this day) and start your day. And try to not check emails and what's app messages for at least the first half an hour of your day.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
New love, your card says this week! For those of you who are not currently in a relationship, this may translate literally in your life – with someone new coming in. But for those in a happy relationship, this could either renewed love and companionship with your partner. Differences may float away and a new energy, synergy is on the horizon. Bring honesty to your relationship. Bring who you really are in all your glory, leaving aside what is stale and old.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 21)
If there is something you've been praying for, your prayers are being answered. Watch out for the signs. If you get a repeated message – it could be a course you need to do, or a place you need to visit – follow your intuition. Your answers lie within, if only you can trust. This is a great time for you to start new things. Don't let fear hold you back.
AQUARIUS (January 22 - February 21)
You've seen how things manifest in your life. First it's an idea (born of Divine sources), then the idea meets with a feeling. And if the feeling is right, you start to nourish the idea with creativity and belief and one step at a time, your idea comes into fruition. Do you have any divine ideas right now? You're here for a purpose. Don't worry about finding your purpose but instead, do what makes you feel empowered and happy. Live your highest life. You're fully guided, Aquarius.
PISCES (February 22 - March 21)
If you're been too bogged down with responsibilities and duties, take some time out for yourself. Go have some fun. Meet your friends, go for a Zumba class, go bowling, go paint a picture. Do something that sparks joy within your very being this week, Pisces. Take some time to nourish and nurture your inner child. You deserve a little break!

A vintage perfume lover can never have enough, but there's only so much you can wear at once. Indulge your love of luxurious fragrances from the past with other vintage perfume collectibles and memorabilia, such as vintage perfume atomizers and old magazine ads. Here are nine things for vintage perfume lovers to collect:
01 of 09
Intact Boxed Sets
To a vintage perfume collector, finding an intact boxed set is better than spotting cash on the ground. Look for sets with sealed bottles and the accompanying documentation, such as this Lanvin Arpege notice about the new threaded stoppers.
02 of 09
Old Perfume Bottles
Thanks to reformulations, today's perfume isn't what it used to be. The new bottles are no prizes either. Antique and vintage perfume bottles were frequently made from heavy cut crystal. Sometimes they were even designed by famous makers such as Baccarat.
03 of 09
Vintage Perfume Atomizers
Vintage perfume atomizers allowed previous generations to spritz before today's spray bottles became commonplace. You'll find commercial atomizers sold with the brands' fragrances, as well as those crafted to receive any scent.
04 of 09
Vintage Compacts for Solid Perfumes
Even in yesteryear, perfume lovers needed a way to apply fragrance on the go. From luxury fashion houses such as Worth to department store lines like Estee Lauder, perfume makers occasionally offered their fragrances in solid wax form sold in convenient compacts.Continue to 5 of 9 below.
05 of 09
Specialty Perfume Bottles
Specialty perfume bottles are always in demand. The more unusual the design and presentation, the better. The double-ended vinaigrette bottle in the photo was designed to hold perfume on one side and smelling salts in the other.
06 of 09
Vintage Magazine Ads for Perfume
Perfume advertising is both collectible and beautiful. Hand-illustrated perfume advertisements from magazines are often especially striking -- and can legitimately be considered works of art. Why not collect the ones that depicted your favorite fragrances through the years? They look lovely framed and hanging in a bedroom, dressing room, or bath.
07 of 09
Perfume Trade Cards
Perfume trade cards came before magazine ads. Trade cards were like the formal calling cards left by visitors, but they advertised a product instead of a guest. The trade card in the photo was designed to promote Florida Water Perfume.
08 of 09
Antique Perfume Illustrations
Perfumery has a long history. Before photographs were possible, perfume-related places and events were sometimes documented in detailed illustrations. The illustration in the photo depicts the product showcase by perfume house Oriza L. Legrand during the World Expo of 1867, which took place in Paris on the Champ de Mars.Continue to 9 of 9 below.
09 of 09
Perfume Urns and Fountains
Perfume urns and fountains once graced the counters of elegant boutiques and perfume shops. That was typically before commercially bottled perfumes in branded bottles were commonplace. Once you selected your fragrance and your bottle, the shopkeeper decanted it for you.
